An indie girl's resolutions for the new year:
- learn French
- only wear vintage dresses, throw away my jeans
- start a band with a recorder, accordion and tambourine
- become vegan
- discover at least one unknown band a month, deny liking them if they ever make it big
- go to yoga at least five days a week
- only use my bike for transportation
- be more mysterious
- ask yourself everyday, "What would Zooey Deschanel do?"
- quit my day job and just be awesome for a living

I just laughed so hard at your fractions of yourself... Target fan is just way too true! Happy Friday :)
so I gotta ask...what's the other 2.5%? (you're currently at 50+25+10+12.5). Let's go for...hmm...rockabilly? I mean, just a tidge is sometimes kind of fun!
Oh the things MIT has done to me...
This just made my day, especially the last one. You just described all of my friends who live in Brooklyn. :)
This is my fave post! I am a quarter indie as well! so cute.
haha "just be awesome for a living" love it!
great list. happy friday.
This is fantastic! Simply fantastic! I believe we should all quit our jobs and be awesome!!!
I love it! I am more like 3/4 Target fan. And I'm totally learning french this year.
WWZDD?
Great post! <3
I love asking what Zoey D. would do!! :) Have a great weekend and Happy New Year!!!
p.s. I'm going to post the guest-blog you wrote for me in the next couple of weeks!
haha! i love the last two indie girl resolutions.
this list is perfect, and made me laugh so hard

haha! 1/4 target fan. You're so self-aware. I love it.
This made me laugh and smile! Thank you.
I think you're a Prippy for sure :)
There is a hilarious NYT article from 2003 comparing hipsters and preps that I'll post today... pretty funny!
Love this list and how you've defined yourself. You made me smile :). I'd like to add that last one to my list too!
What would Zooey Deschanel do? Priceless.
I am pretty much loving this list!
I think my excessive love of Target and Anthropologie negates any indie-ness I may be entitled to. Ha ha!
oh my gosh i love this! so great:) i love hippies and indies as well. very cute post! xo
ha! #5 used to be my number one resolution when I was 19....i was so mad at sunny day real estate for the longest time.
This is excellent. Thanks for brightening my day - hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Love your self-aware breakdown, particularly the 1/4 Target fan.
Best of luck with your indie resolutions! :)
giirrrrrl you don't need to quit your day job to be AWESOME!
and may i please play tambourine in your rock band? i ACTUALLY spend a few hours a day practicing it last summer. not even kidding. UGH.
have a wonderful weekend!
i like your fractioned personality. too funny.
This is so funny! "What do you do for a living?" "Oh, I'm just awesome." Love it:)
Haha, I love it! Especially the part about being awesome for a living.
You are already awesome without all those things :) But I'm with you on the wear only vintage dresses part, I've been doing that more for the past six months now and loving it!
I'm changing my resolutions to these!
I love your personal identity breakdown! I'm a 1/4 target too! Maybe we're related??? And the list is amazing. Thank you!
THIS post is my fave. I think I need to throw away my jeans!
I like the "be more mysterious" resolution. I think that one's so true.
Hilarious! I love it.
"1/4 Target Fan" Oh Thank you for that Laugh out loud.
Also very fond of "deny liking them if they ever make it big"...obviously! great post, great indie resolutions:)
Ha...you can easily just subsitute "indie" for "pretentious".
this is so great! i am about 2/3 closet nerd but hopefully by asking what would zooey deschanel do i can become more indie in the future.

I like to think I'm a quarter Indie but in reality it's probably like 1/8 or even 1/16.
These are really great, I think I need to make some resolutions.
you crack me up!
ha, this post cracks me up. this person kind of sounds like me and i'm kind of embarrassed by that. huh. i love target though.
yaay everyone finally is telling you you're funny!
I consider myself about a 1/4 indie also - I'm glad to know there are others out there like me!
haha, love this post. makes me want to be more indie. I'm not sure what fraction I would be right now, but I love the idea of learning french, only wearing vintage dresses, being more mysterious and simply being awesome! :)
this is too funny and totally true!! i would def say i have some indie, nerd and target fan too (ive been like 4 times in the last week....)i def abide by some of those resolutions haha
Love your proportions! Awesome. Learning French was one of my resolutions, does that make me indie? I never thought I was cool enough to be indie. I'd be more like 3/5 nerd.
Funny post! I'm definitely 3/4 nerd--or maybe more. Being awesome for a living should be on everyone's resolution list!
This post is so appropriate for me today. At preschool they are talking about maps and the kids had to draw a route on a map to wherever they wanted to go most. Most of the kids said the park, some said the lake. My daughter drew the route to Target.
I just found your blog for the first time, and wow! I am so excited. I love it! The post about cozy bed nooks was my fave.
because of this post, you're awesome.
hahahaaaaa!!! awesome :)
it's funny because it's true.
I don't think there is a drop of "indie" in me...loved this!

Love this post. .
I do try to ask what zooey deschanel would do, but then i just want to watch one of her movies and my productivity is done for the day,
Spectacular! Made me smile. And maybe I think about Zooey Deschanel when I need inspiration too! Just saying... maybe! lol
Have a wonderful weekend!
This post is my fave.
I'm working on the "be more mysterious" one, haha.
lol i love this post... denying you ever liked the band in the first place. soooo indie :)
this list officially makes my day :).
this list officially makes my day :).

this is one of the best blog posts i've ever seen. hilarious, i especially like quit my day job and just be awesome for a living. haha.
Oh yes, that list is definitely included in my new years resolutions - especially the last one!! :-))
Just realized the "WWZZD" comment was already taken! So I'll just leave it at this: the best post EVER.
Think I've got to steal that Zooey Deschanel resolution! That's a good one!
Haha, these indie resolutions are hilarious ;)
I absolutely love your blog my dear, and this post brought a smile to my face!
Be sure to check out my blog... there's a suprise for you there!
How hilarious! I know so many people like this - I'm a little to enthusiastic to be properly indie.
And when you do know accordion, let me know - I'd love to learn.

this is so perfect. i love it. but shouldn't you also be getting a graduate degree in something that will in NO WAY even help you in the job market?
Ah..
What would Zooey Deschanel do?
Thats perfect. Love it!
oh my gosh. this was amazing. you are HILARIOUS.
fancy that...we have almost the exact same resolutions! except i can't do vegan, cheese is my fave.
but i am planning on quitting my day job to just be awesome and write for a living. and also be more mysterious. that is totally top of the list.
Brilliant!! I love this. Your fractions sound like me, and your indie resolution list is hilarious and dead on. Love. XO!
Totally in the same boat as you lady! Love :)
LOVE this!
um, this is rilly awesome.
i am cracking up at that description of yourself. it is me perfectly esp the target fan.
Haha, I just have to say that I found your blog today for the first time. After reading this list, you'll definitely be a daily read. :)
At least it's no longer What Would Chloe Sevigny do?
At least it's no longer What Would Chloe Sevigny do?
I'm indie! and when summer comes the jeans will never be seen again! awesome post, you are amazing!
xoxoxoxo
It seems to be a exhaustive list that she has to complete in the next months I know she will do it so in her hands she has the flame to do whatever she wants to do.
